The kin of terrors has but few allies more powerful t an cholera infantum. lnall quar- ters of the globeit counts itsinnocent victims by thousands. It has cast its dark shadow on most households, and notwithstanding the boasted advance of medical science it is the terror of the fond mother and the dread of the family physician. It is not on ac- count of anything new or im ortsnt we have to say that we takc up t is subject, but because it is proper that a disease so wide- spread and fatal should receive at Ieasta passing notice at the season of its greatest prevalence. Dentition and heat. especially the latter. being the leading factors in the production of cholera infantum. medicinal Meats proper are comparatively powerless. No medicine can stop the teething process, nor moderate the heat of summer. “'e may lull to sleep the dental irritation, and we may reduce the bodily heat, but we never can wholly re- move the causes. Both the prevalence and fatality of this disease vary greatly from mama to season. Dry, and long-continued hot weather [is most favourable to its de- velopement. This summer being moist and cool, the disease should not prevail to the same extent as in ordinary seasons. Should it do so in any particular locality, it must be owing to bad sanitary conditions. If medi- cal science were a failure in all other re- spects, one great and grand thing it has done, it has taught man how, in a large measure to protect himself against the ravages of disease. If medicine furnishes no certain cure, it is a satisfaction to know that the disease may be in a large measuro prevented. llue regard to diet, clothing, cleanliness and purity of air is a pretty effective safeguard. Over-feeding bould be avoided, even in the case of infant at the breast. Nurses should regulate their own dict sons to avoid all articles of food known to have a disturbing tendency on digestion. During the heated tcrm children fed on cow's milk should have their allowance mixed with barley-water, oatmeal-writs r, or a small quantity of lime- water. The reprehensible practice of giving infants " a little of whatever is going,” can‘ not be too strongly condemned at any time, but mnu- especially during tin hot weather. Next in importance to dieting ispure air. If, in addition to the depressing influence of heat, the child is made to breathe the at- mospherc of a close room, occupied, perhaps, by one or mcre other persons, cholera is almost inevitable. A free interchange of air has a. wonderful power in preventing diseases in generalybut diseases of the di- gestive organs in particular. As another means of prevention, the child should be al- lowed to drink a moderate amount of cold water. Even infants of a few weeks old H, aro‘grcatly refreshed and benefited on a hot ‘t‘gday 'by a little cold water. Bathing is “another hygienic measure of great value, and should never be overlooked in health or disease. It is much more difficult to be dogmatic in tho nmttcr of treatment. This naturally resolves itself into two parts, the hygienic and medicinal, the former being by far the most important. Much of what has been said: in reference to prevention is applicable to treatment. The patient should be at once placed under sanitary conditions as favor- able as possible. .If the case is at all severe at thp outset all food had better be withheld for a time, even breast-milk. It is not di- gested, and only increases irritation. The child craves for cold water, but experience teaches us that gastric and intestinal irrita- tion of whatever kind, is not relieved, but rather increased, by droughts of cold water. lint .whon the temperature is high, and thirst great, a toss nful of iced water repeated at short intervals will at least prove grateful. In this disease the drain on the circulating fluids is great. ’l‘o compen- satc for this, it is necessary to give a good dcalof liquid in some form. Sometimes the disease is ushered in with such suddenness and severity us to cause death in a few hours. in such cases the vomiting and puruiug is excessive, the skin is cold and the distress is extreme. \\'hen death does not won take place. reaction sets in, and instead of coldness there will be beat of body. Tthc different conditions, of course, require different management. In the for- mcr we must endeavour to supply heat, by the hot bath, persistent friction, mustard siuapisuis, tincture of capsicum rubbed along the spine and on the extremities, and warm drinks and stimulants. These measures must not be carried to excess, and must be discontinued us soon as reaction is observv able. It however, more frequentl happens that the onset is more gradual. nstoad of diminished, there is increased tempera- turn calling for measures directly the oppo- site. ‘ 'l'ho judicious management of the child’s food and drink is. without doubt, by far the most important part of the treatment. Medicine can do no good as long as materi- als are poured into tho stomach which it is unable to appropriate. It is worse than useless to allow an infant to nurse simply that it may vomit immediately offer. It surcl 'cannot be right to administer milk or at er food which we know will be reject- ed. The child. so far from being benefited, is made worse, and the symptoms which we are cndavourin to relieve arc aggravated ton-fold. N0 cod at all is to be preferred by far to food which is taken only to be re- jccted by an exhausted stonuch. Great irritability of the stomach may be regarded as prhof positive of its inability to digest mil . In such cases we must rely mainly, for s time at Icon, on barley-water, which has been made somewhat as follows :â€"To a pint of cold water add one or two teaspoon- ul viscconling to the age of the child) of barley which has been freshly ground or broke epic a coffee mill, or in some other way 7 t this be boiled down to onehalf and strained while hot.

They were observed in every place where the shocks were such as to be generally perceptible. Some minutes before they were felt, the oxen and cows began to bellow, the sheep and goats bloated, and rushing in confusion one on the other, triod dogs howled, the geese and {owls were alarmed and made much noise; the horses which were fastened in the stalls were great- ly agitated, leaped up and down and tried to break the halters with which they were attached to the mangcrs ; those on the road. stopped suddenly and snorted~iu a very strange way. The cats were very much frightened, and tried to conceal themselves, or their hair bristled up wildly.

The Saturday Review has a fierce thrust at what must havo been the sharpest of sha' thorns in the side .of that most digmfied;0f all British jour- nals â€" the American custom of news- paper interviewing. Some enterprising Lon- don evening paper, it appears, had sent a re- porter to interview Miss Anderson after the most approved American fashion, and had published the results of the conversation. From specimens given it can easily be under- stood that British attempts ut this peculiar- ly American product of journalism are none of the best. But it was the fact of an ins tcrview having taken place at 'all that pro- voked the wrath of the Saturday , not the excellence or otherwise of the ‘attempt. It expresses great surprise that a journal of which better things might Well have been expected should so far have forgotten what was due to its own dignity of British Jour- nalism as to "‘ drag itself through the mire ” by inaugurating the “detestable ” Ameri- can habit of interviewing. If the British public, however, show that they enjoy pub- lished interviews with more or less distinl nuished people as much as the Americans do, then we very much fear that (lofts!- able is not detestable as tho‘cns'é infiy he. “Interviewing ” will become a more or less constant feature of British journalism as well as of the American. If such should be the case, however, it is earnestly. to be hoped that the good sense of Britislijournnl- ists will kccp them from giving “inter- viewing” some of these features which in American hands has made the custom to stink in the nostrils, of all respectable people. .

Through the energy of Police Inspector Murray the bringing of a murderer to jun. tioe many years after the crime was con» mitted is about to beaceomplished. 0n the afternoon of Aug. 31, 1875, James Lsnndon, a young boiler-maker, was murdered in a lumber yard at Ninth avenue and Four- termth street. Between 12 and 1 o'clock on that day James Mooney, a car-driver, was watering his team at the entrance to the yard, when the report of a pistol behind a pile of lumber attracted his attention. H: left his horses and proceeded to the spot. 051: vanm Cxxxvs. â€"L numbers of Percheron itab [ions are being light in the United States by Canadian breeders to renew the old bench blood so highly priced, and she to E‘ll‘e Quality. stylsand action to the large haglish draft and Clydesdale stock which basbeea bred there so long.

Seeing Mooney, the young man shouted: " l have killed or wounded a man there; I don't know which, and what is more. I don't care." With that he dissppered into the street. Mooney Rests found Langdon dying from a wound in the left breast directly over the heart, and he died without being able to give an account of the affair. The slim clcw left by the murderer baffled the exertions of the police for a long time. The clew which led to the identification of the murderer was a silver watch found on the murdered boiler-maker. His parents affirmed that the watch did not belong to Inm. The murderer is a native of this city. He bore a evil reputation, and, in 1874, for some offense, he was compelled to leave the city. He Went to Pennsylvania and joined the Mol- ly Maguires. Among them he was known as Charles Jones, alias the “\Velshman " Ghost.” This. the inspector says, however, is not his real name. Jones came to this city frequently. On one of his trips, in 1875, on the night of Aug. 10, he got drunk in a bar-room in 14th street, and went into the lumber-yard to sleep off the efl'ects of the liquor. 'While there be was beaten and robbed of his watch and chain by three men. One of the men was Langdon. By a birth- mark on his face, Jones declared that he would know him should he ever meet him again. He threatened vengeance and hung about the lumber yard for the next two days, hoping to see something of the thieves. 0n the second day, while he was passing the spot in a street car, Langdon nt- tcmpted to get on the car. The fatal birth- mark betrayed him, and a mutual recogn. tion took place between the men. Langdon jumped off the car and fled. He was follow- ed by Jones, and when cornered at length in the lumber yard was shot and killed by him. - Jones fled again to Pennsylvania. He worked in coal and iron mines for years, but old associations continually drew him back to the city. On one of his trips he was de- tected in an offence in Brooklyn, tried and sentenced to a term in the Kings county penitentiary. He is now confined in that institution, with only a few days more to serve. Instead of walking out free, as he expects, when his term is ended, Inspector Murray will be on hand to arrest him for the murder of the boiler maker in 1875,â€"N, l'.

But “fast" as this country and this period both proverbially are. it is a fact that the per- centage of old men who continue in active life, and who do not show their years except to a close scrutiny, is on the increase.
